Many years ago, on my Mac with os9.1...I had a GREAT background program. I can NOT find it anywhere now, can't find the name, etc.. I can't afford a new mac and that one died.. :( I would be very surprised it it didn't make it over to the PC however... maybe someone here can help...

The program allowed you to install various 'scenes' that were real photos taken over 24 hour periods of various places. Golden Gate Bridge, Statue of Liberty, and several others.. Some were like 1 picture every 2-5 minutes and some were 1 picture every 30 minutes, and still some, 1 every hour. The program synced up with your system clock so that the view on your desktop was time relevant. I loved this program and it was wild to watch ships move up rivers, traffic drive around, etc.. Yes, was the same every day, but still... some of them had amazingly beautiful sunrises and sunsets..and when they were done with the 2-5 minute /change it was amazing!

If anyone has any knowledge of this at all, please, reply to me... I have searched for almost 2 years now with NO luck and just found this site.

Thank you for a very cool site...and I hope someone can help me....

This wallpaper set: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/All+Day+Long+(Animated+Wallpaper)?content=83443

Kinda does that. It changes over the day, but it isn't a program easily setup with your own images, but you might be able to change it up to work with whatever images you want. Not sure offhand.

Looks like the wallpapers aren't there anymore.

Shantz-Xwinwrap is a program that can map any window to the desktop background (although in GNOME it makes your icons disappear.) So you could have it map a video, or a slideshow, or a screensaver, or whatever.
